The victim was able to break free from the unidentified assailant, run to the lobby of the hotel and summon help, Lt. Brent Williams said. She reported no injuries.

She described the perpetrator as a clean-shaven, roughly 5-foot-9-inch black man in his 20s with short hair. He was wearing tan pants and a long- sleeve gray shirt and carrying a light-colored backpack, the victim told investigators.

The assailant remained at large in the late afternoon, the lieutenant said.
